Note: The podcasting facility has moved to the Unitube studio in Viikki from Room 430 in Aleksandria, as Aleksandria will be renovated in spring 2024. A new podcast solution for the Central Campus is being considered as part of the renovation.
From 1.1.2024, Viikki's Unitube studio will also feature a separate podcast facility consisting of a RØDECaster Pro recorder and four RØDE PodMic microphones including separate headphones so up to four persons can listen to their own audio tracks separately.
Based on about a year of test use, the equipment is easily accessible and can record audio from Bluetooth or USB in addition to the four microphones, so participants can be present, for example, via a telephone call or Zoom connection. Recording is possible both on the recorder's memory card and via a USB connection to a computer, if the user has one. When recording to the memory card, each audio source is recorded on its own track, making it easier to process the recording afterwards. When recording to a computer, the features depend on the programme and computer you are using.
The room is booked via Outlook (see booking of Unitube-studios). The most reliable way is to invite infokeskus.2026@helsinki.fi as a participant. If your booking is denied because you do not have rights to book the room, please contact edutech@helsinki.fi to solve the issue
Because the Unitube studio has the Video Communication functionality in the control panel, you can also use the studio's shooting lights and cameras in conjunction with the podcast equipment. However, the podcast hardware is not connected to the Unitube recording system itself, so use Zoom, ScreenPal, etc. to record video in this case.
